My father, currently 70 had vertigo problem 1 month back. With doctor consultation he took Vertin 8 mg thrice a day and Rabekind DSR twice a day. And he was better in 3 days treatment. Again after a month he is with same problem but dizziness and nausea more severe. And Vertin 8 mg is not working much this time. Took already thrice in 3 days. Please suggest.

Hello, Thanks for your query on Lybrate "As" per your clinical history is concerned do a clinical examination by your Doctor[ENT] and do few investigations like this to confirm exact cause[Electronystagmography (ENG)]and if confirmed then discuss exercise like [Canalith repositioning] which you should do three times a day. Do follow lifestyle modifications like this- 1) Be aware of the possibility of losing your balance, which can lead to falling and serious injury. 2) Sit down immediately when you feel dizzy. 3) Use good lighting if you get up at night. 4) Walk with a cane for stability if you're at risk of falling. Hope that helps.
